Chapter 198: Eat alone?
"There are not many telecom resources, and this is just an excuse. Wallid doesn't want to cooperate with us on mobile phones."
In Chen Mo's office, Chen Mo, Zhao Min and Xiaoyu were sitting on the sofa.
Zhao Min looked confused.
Judging from Walid's response just now, the other party said that the telecommunications industry lacked resources and was completely perfunctory to them. At least in terms of mobile phones, they were unwilling to cooperate with the marching ant company.
Since the rejection in Europe, they have not had a large telecommunications company in the international market, which is very strange.
"They want to cooperate with us, and the mobile phone industry is the best direction for cooperation. Walid's refusal was beyond my expectations and also confused me very much." Zhao Min shook his head and said.
She was preparing to split the mobile phone business from the company and enter the international market, but the result was unexpected.
Xiaoyu sat aside, unable to get in and could only make tea for the two of them.
After taking the teacup handed over by Xiaoyu, Chen Mo said, "It is normal for them to refuse, because we are not the same as them."
“March Ant Company has broken the rules and cannot cooperate in certain areas.”
"They break the rules?" The two think tanks around Valid looked puzzled.
"Eat alone?" One of them said in surprise.
"Yes." Wallid nodded slightly.
Last time he held a cruise party in Paris, among his old friends, Richard, CEO of France Telecom, talked about the marching ant company. Westerners were afraid that another consortium like Samsung would appear to compete with them for interests. They must try every means to tear the marching ant apart, otherwise it would restrict their development.
The two think tanks immediately understood what he was going to say.
The big reason why Huaxia companies are feared is that those companies are state-owned enterprises. Some companies are acquired, and the whole piece of meat belongs to Chinese people.
This is the case with the marching ant company. Once they are allowed to enter the market, the meat they eat will not be separated at all.
Moreover, the marching ants are in China, not in the world controlled by Western capital. With the official protection of China, the tentacles of Westerners will be cut off once they pass by, so they have no choice but to use the marching ants.
The financial world, the entire Western countries, and various consortiums, families, groups and companies are closely linked.
Each has shares in the hands of the other company, which is an exchange of interests.
The shares of the marching ant company are only in the hands of Chen Mo. He is unwilling to spit out part of the company's shares and interests. This circle cannot accept him. This is the rule.
Therefore, it is impossible for the marching ants to stand at the top of China.
"But sooner or later they will step out of this circle, and no one can stop this company. We will cooperate with it first, which will be beneficial to us." After thinking about it, the think tank wearing glasses on the left spoke.
"We have already cooperated with them, aren't we?" said Wallid. "The sales of robots are also considered cooperation. Telecom cooperation is not yet possible."
Huaxia Li Chaoren holds British Telecommunications Company, and Huawei's communication base stations are all over the world. These companies are the best partners of the Army Ant Company, but they do not cooperate with the Army Ant Company.
Without Marine Ant Company shares and long-term interests, no one will cause trouble for this muddy water.
The market in the mobile phone industry is so big, with Samsung, Apple and Huawei accounting for most of it. The first one to suffer is Apple, and the Americans will not agree.
Wallid also holds shares in Apple, and he will not feel uncomfortable before he gets shares in the marching ant company.
Once they help the marching ant mobile phone enter the international market, they will face many opponents, and they will not take risks without long-term benefits. If the marching ant company fails to succeed, there is also the Chinese market. If he fails to succeed, he will offend many people.
In the field of robots, it does not touch the interests of other companies, so it can cooperate. Just like a seismometer, if the marching ant company is willing to cooperate with foreign countries, all companies in the world will want to cooperate with it.
Wallid summoned the accompanying think tank and entered the conference room.
"We will cooperate with the marching ant company to sell robots. We will conduct cooperation negotiations tomorrow. You will prepare a plan for me to determine the transaction method and acceptable price."
Everyone began to enter the urgent discussion stage. What Walid needed was efficiency. It was effective that they could often visit more than a dozen countries within a few days.
The marching ant was not idle either. The team in charge of the robot business also worked overtime to start preparing for tomorrow's negotiations.
The next morning, Walid led his think tank to appear again at the March Ant Company. All executives of the March Ant Company marketing department were present.
"Where is Mr. Chen Mo?" Wallid asked at Zhao Min.
"The boss is doing research in the laboratory, and he has given me full responsibility for business matters." Zhao Min said.
"Then let's start." Wallid didn't care and followed Zhao Min into the conference room: "Mr. Zhao, I want exclusive agency rights in the Middle East."
"Yes." Zhao Min said.
What they mean is to give Wallid agency rights in the Middle East. Wallid is the first to cooperate with them, so it can be given priority in this regard. It is impossible for other regions to give exclusive agency rights.
"Mr. Zhao is so happy," said Wallid. "Then we start talking about the price now."
After last night, the entire think tank demonstrated that the exclusive agency rights in the Middle East were the biggest bottom line that the marching ant company gave them.
"2.5% agency fee," said Wallid.
"1%." Zhao Min immediately responded: "Mr. Walled, we are all from the circle. We should understand that this agency fee is impossible."
"Didn't you say that you bargain?" Wallid didn't care: "Ms. Zhao Min, we are all cheerful people, 2%, which is a good start for the cooperation between the two parties."
"1.3%, if this agency fee is released, many people will rush to ask for it. You are the exclusive agent in the Middle East. This is a very refreshing start, and you still need 2%. It is not good to do business like this." Zhao Min said slowly.
Wallid stopped and looked at Zhao Min quietly. After a while, he spoke: "Let's take a step back, 1.8%.
"No, up to 1.35%.
"Ms. Zhao Min, you can't compare us with ordinary agency companies, right? This agency fee is too low."
Both sides are testing each other's bottom line, and they have an intention to cooperate. This order must be discussed within today.
One hour later, the negotiations were completed after the two confirmed all terms. 1.51%, and the first deposit was $300 million. This fee was finally determined by both parties.
"Mr. Wallid, confirm it for the last time. If there is no problem, you can sign it."
Zhao Min handed the printed agreement and appendix to Valid in duplicate, and both parties began to confirm the terms of the agreement.
"Give me the first batch of 200 aircraft as soon as possible, the faster the better, it's best within one month." After Wallid confirmed the agreement, he signed it without thinking.
"Are you so anxious?" Zhao Min finally confirmed the agreement.
"Yes, because these 200 aircraft were used by myself." Wallid said with a smile.
